A 27 year old rugby union winger i have never heard of (not that it means much),i will have to amble down to the TAB and throw some money on.Why am i not enthused is there something wrong with me?
I can guarantee the NRL are not helping us the way they are for the rorters with their union player

I had never heard of Warbrick and he goes ok,, NZ Union backs are normally pretty damn good footballers , always very skilful

All in all alot can change during pre season and there is no for sure team you can pick. Definitely when Doueihi comes back he will slot into the centres. But at this point our team I would come to think would look similar definitely not definitive though

Shit forgot we had the bye .. lol

How can you not be a fan of him as captain? The heart he showed this year was superhuman

Oh so suddenly you like one of our players and think they are doing a great job. That's refreshing

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The fact this guy is 27 kind of takes the wind out of the sails.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

The headline said ‘Speedster’, I wonder if he has the legs similar to a JAC or Jason Saab

 

[DUCK]

Good stuff man 👍🏻

Can Tiger fans really be excited over this 28 year old Rugby player from NZ? Am I reading his Bio correctly in that he was playing in their Reserve Grade team 🤔? "I am so excited and I just can't hide it and I'm about to lose control and I like it"!

Salary cap relief won't come into effect until 2025 I think I read.

No chance

Better than a guy acting as captain and taking all our best players to another club for a secret meeting.

Not a massive fan of Api as captain but thats what we need from him.

I wasn’t sure about API initially but he’s led from the front aswell as said all captain material words in the media. Any apprehensiveness I had is long gone

Try to distract as you may, but cynicism towards the rest of the squad isn’t the story here. It’s your bizarre notion that the only true professional in the playing squad whose won premierships, played Origin etc isn’t captain material. In this team. Seriously? Lol

 

[clontarfkid]

Mate your right. He was very quick 4 years ago, i hope he has still got his pace.

Truth is ,at 27 he hasnt made it in Super Rugby,and is a waste of a top 30 spot no matter how athletic/how tall/how whatever he may appear
Hes a train and trial,nothing more
Roosters are signing current stand out Wallaby wingers...Storm signing Warbick was a current All Black 7s player
We need a proven outside back,particularly with Nofa on the nose
Wish him well,but its exactly why we are where we are

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Watching Solomon’s highlights, he just makes the gameplay look simple and easy.

He’s almost jogging and can still bust the line and make something happen

Definitely ain’t afraid to get involved, goes looking for the ball, likes to link-up, has a sneaky flick in him

Great Prospect

Was it woods that did that?

Further development. Luai was in Brisbane on the weekend and met with Dolphins head of recruitment Peter O'Sullivan. No offer was made but certainly interesting given their halves are currently Katoa (formerly Penrith), O'Sullivan (formerly Penrith), Nikorima, and Milford. A further indication they have missed out on Ezra Mam who is set to resign with Broncos before Christmas

❌❌❌

 

[BAGNF05]

I know who we have signed Lee has stepped down as chairman effective immediately and taken the halfback spot heard he has his first run with the boys today and was disappointed to find out you can’t play with a fedora on

Rumour has it he ran over Blore and Blore is out for 14 weeks.

 

[carltonleach]

If they can manage to get a combo going, it could really be lethal !

Bloody oath mate ay..

In the few clips that have been posted I like his sweep from behind the ball carrier into open space aswell as his speed
Defence and also being able to predict when he should push up hard for a cutout ball will be key to him getting a run in Benji team I think
